LOS ANGELES, Feb 28 (Reuters) - "Madame Web," an
American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character of
the same name, nabbed the most wins at the 45th Razzie Awards on
Friday, including worst picture, actress and screenplay.
The Razzie Awards are the annual Oscar spoof that spotlights
Hollywood's worst performances.
"Seinfeld" actor Jerry Seinfeld's Netflix ( NFLX ) satire about the
cereal industry, "Unfrosted," scored two wins for worst actor
for Seinfeld and worst supporting actress for Amy Schumer.
Tying with "Unfrosted," "Joker: Folie a Deux" and
"Megalopolis" were both crowned with two wins.
"Joker: Folie a Deux" won for worst prequel, sequel, remake
or rip-off and screen combo, while "Megalopolis" earned esteemed
filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola worst director and Jon Voight
worst supporting actor.
Coppola posted a response on Friday to the film's Razzie
wins.
"I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many
important categories for @megalopolisfilm, and for the
distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director,
worst screenplay, and worst picture at a time when so few have
the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary
moviemaking!" he wrote in an Instagram post.
"In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores
as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the
gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that
despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may
not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years
from now," Coppola added.
The Razzie Redeemer Award, bestowed on a past contender who
has "gone on to better things" since being nominated for a
Razzie, went to "The Last Showgirl," which stars Pamela
Anderson.
More than 1,100 Razzie members from across the United States
and about two dozen other countries vote on the awards,
according to the Razzie website.
